[Intro]
 
Em C G D x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em        C            G       D
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Em      C            G         B
Coming down like an armageddon flame
Em   C         G        D        B
The shame the ones who died without a name 
Em     C             G      D
Hear the dogs howling out of key
Em    C           G          B
To a hymn called faith and misery
Em  C          G       D     B
And bleed, the company lost the war today
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em        C                G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies 
Em           C      G         D        B
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives. On holiday
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em        C              G      D
Hear the drums pounding out of time
Em        C      G         B
Another protester has crossed the line 
Em        C         G       D      B
To find, the money's on the other side
Em     C     G      D
Can I get another amen
Em         C             G       B
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men
Em  C      G       D        B
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em        C                G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies 
Em           C      G         D        B
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives. On holiday

N.C.
The representative of California has the floor
N.C.
Zieg Heil to the president gasman
N.C.
bombs away is your punishment
N.C.
pulverise the Eiffel towers
N.C.
who criticise your government
N.C.
bang bang goes the broken glass and
N.C.
kill all the fags that don't agree
N.C.
try to fight fire, setting fire
N.C.
it's not a way that's meant for me
N.C.
just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em        C                G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
E           C              G           B
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
Em        C                G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies 
E           C              G           B
This is the dawning of the rest of our liiiiiiiiiiiiives
 
this is our lives on holiday.
